Representatives of over ten thousand drivers from Tehran’s metropolitan Vahed Bus Company (Sherkate Otoboosrani Vahed) gathered yesterday in front of Tehran’s Municipal building to protest discrimination in benefits between the general employees and drivers, un-uniform wages among all municipality staff, and the insignificance of the amounts of the fringe benefits that are provided. According to Iran’s government operated news agencies, the representatives of the workers who totaled about 200, also called for the dismissal of managing director of the company and an investigation of their unpaid salaries. The syndicate of the Vahed company workers is among the most active workers groups in the country. Many of its members, including its president Mansour Osanloo and Ibrahim Madadi, deputy president have spent years in prison for defending the rights of the workers of the company.
